POLICY WIRE — Washington, DC — President Donald Trump instructed the Justice Department to investigate Democratic Party members, claiming they have threatened Republican donors and administration officials. The request came after the recent midterm elections, amid mounting partisan tensions.
During a brief appearance on Friday, Trump spoke to the media before walking across the South Lawn of the White House to board Marine One. He described the Democrats’ actions as threatening a lot of people, referencing both impeachment proceedings and other forms of political pressure.
